Negreanu Three-Bets Eveslage; Yu Practices His Chip Tricks
Chad Eveslage raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 275,000 in the small blind. Eveslage folded and Negreanu took the pot.
Ben Yu was practicing rolling a chip between his fingers and having it land perfectly on top of his stack, a favorite trick of Nick Schulman. His failed attempts drew a series of laughs from the table.
"What's your free throw percentage on landing it on a 20-stack?" Yu asked Schulman.
"At least 50. I'll hit like eight in a row but then go cold," Schulman replied.
Schulman was then in the small blind and called a raise of 65,000 from Darren Elias in the hijack. He stood pat and Elias took one. Both players checked and Schulman showed 10x9x7x3x2x, taking in more chips to play with.
"I'm trying for the first time. I'm like an eight-year-old trying layups. Of course it's going to be like this," Yu added as he kept at it.
